This seems to me to be rather unlikely, as left-handers have to adapt
continually to the right-handedness of everyday objects, and should
therefore become more ambidextrous than the average right-hander.
Possibly resentment about this can lead to some left-handers
deliberately (or subconsciously)limiting their apparent ambidexterity?

There are far more buses in London than ticket gates but all the buses I use
have the Oyster card reader on the left! If Richard is right, this will
cause chaos and confusion for the right handers who don't normally have to
adapt to left-handedness. Then, of course, there's the bit about
resentment....

Personally, as a right hander, I don't find it a problem
